A:
GIMP is a good program for that. Just save the image as PNG, then add
<link rel="SHORTCUT ICON" HREF="/favicon.png">
on the <HEAD> section of your page.

Gimp also offers the option of saving it as favicon.ico, which would save the trouble of adding the link.

It's just a regular icon nothing really special about it. Here's first resource that pops up on Google

You create a icon file that's 16x16 or 32x32 or 64x64. Name it favicon.ico and place it in the root of your website public folder.
There are websites that will convert other graphic formats to .ico for you. ie. http://tools.dynamicdrive.com/favicon/

And if you are using asp.net try this way to apply favicon to your page :
<link runat="server" rel="shortcut icon" href="~/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
<link runat="server" rel="icon" href="~/favicon.ico" type="image/ico" />
but you can find more information here : http://doctype.com/

If you want to create .ico files, you can also use GIMP (http://www.gimp.org/) to create favicon's. Modern browsers can use normal image files, but originally I think it was just .ico files. It's an open source image editor similar to Photoshop. Create and edit an image of the right size (say 32 x 32), flatten to one layer (Unless you want multiple icons in the same file), and save as a .ico. It'll format it correctly, then use Stefano's to use it in your webpage.

I make my favicons either 16 x 16 or 32 x 32 using Photoshop. I save it as gif then and I use IrfanView (http://www.irfanview.de/) to convert the gif to a ico.
